Just the other day I rode the new Brightline train. It was really nice, modern, and for once it's faster than going in your car.
U.S. will never be like Japan, or like Europe, but its the closest thing we got.
How does /n/ feel about this new train in Florida?

I live in Lakeland, so I've been waiting and hoping year after year that they will finally expand westward. At this point, Brightline, Sunrail, anything will do. As long as it bypasses the dreaded I-4 rat race and asphalt rivers from hell.

From my personal experience, while it is nice, it is in no way worth that amount of money.
My greatest gripe with it is however the way in which it overcoddles the passenger. What do you mean needing to be guided to the boarding area? Is this an airport? Can't I just wait on the platform? How retarded do you think your customers are? Is a regular check-in via NFC pass or ticket with direct access to the platforms too simple?

it's not just america, it's fucking FLORIDA. even if you remove "Florida Man" memes, it's still full of snowbirds, DUI riders, boomer retirees, and other such n'er'do'wells incapable of reading basic signage or standing in a queue line
